We briefly review some aspects of the anomalous diffusion, and its relevance in reactive systems. In particular we consider strong anomalous diffusion characterized by the moment behaviour <(x(t)(q)> similar to t(qv)(q), where v(q) is a non constant function, and we discuss its consequences.… |

We present results of a numerical simulation of the thermal convection in the subsurface mushy ice layer of Europa, one of the Jupiter's moons. Beside fluid dynamics and heat transfer within such a layer, heat conduction in the solid crustal surface and heat exchange between the two phases - mushy… |

Endothelial cell (EC) migration is crucial for a wide range of processes including vascular wound healing, tumor angiogenesis, and the development of viable endovascular implants. We have previously demonstrated that ECs cultured on 15-?m wide adhesive line patterns exhibit three distinct migration… |

An algorithm for computing the solution of indefinite least squares problems
and of indefinite least squares problems with equality constrained is presented.
Such problems arise when solving total least squares problems and in
H infinity-smoothing.
The proposed algorithm relies only on stable… |

We present the formulation of a kinetic mapping scheme between the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) and the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) which is at the basis of the hybrid model used to couple the two methods in view of efficiently and accurately simulate isothermal flows characterized by… |

Motivation: Highly Active AntiRetroviral Therapies (HAART) can pro-
long life significantly to people infected by HIV since, although unable
to eradicate the virus, they are quite effective in maintaining control of
the infection. However, since HAART have several undesirable side
effects, it… |

Motivation: Immune cells coordinate their efforts for the correct and efficient functioning of the immune system (IS). Each cell type plays a distinct role and communicates with other cell types through mediators such as cytokines, chemokines and hormones, among others, that are crucial for the… |

Within the framework of general relativity, we investigate the tidal acceleration of astrophysical jets relative to the central collapsed configuration ("Kerr source"). To simplify matters, we neglect electromagnetic forces throughout; however, these must be included in a complete analysis. The… |
